Someday soon, instead of going to a bar to get a little bit (or a lot) buzzed, people will be able to walk into a cannabis cafe, order a pre-roll, light it up, and publicly enjoy some weed.

Not in Washington State, however.

Cannabis cafes, or consumption lounges, are coming to other legal-weed cities and states. Las Vegas is getting consumption lounges, San Francisco already has them, Portland has a members-only club where you can BYOP, and the Colorado Legislature voted last month to legalize weed cafes. But we’re about as likely to get consumption lounges here as Jay Inslee is to win the presidency.
